Two confluent bowl barrows on Felton Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset. The site comprises two round burial mounds that share a common boundary, a configuration that suggests either contemporary construction or later expansion of an initial barrow. Bowl barrows of this type are characteristic of the earlier Bronze Age period, typically dating between approximately 2000 and 1500 BCE, though some may have origins in the late Neolithic. The monument represents evidence of prehistoric burial practice and territorial demarcation in the Somerset landscape, and its designation reflects its archaeological importance as a surviving example of this barrow type.
